thinking that a certain LONELINESS and even

But we are gradually getting rid OF this
idea: and the passing away or the sack

LATE SUMNER STYLES
Are often quite startling as they appear on
city streets. Coming in from the country
or from gay watering places, ladies, and
especially young ladies, will take look
at the old familiar places in attire, that
few weeks later, when they have been
brought down again to the conventional
standard, would seem astonishing, if worn
by others.
One of these costumes was OF rose-colored
Saline, the trimming, open Irish point The
sleeves were pulled and the high hat was OF
rose cOlored tulle, ornamented with white
chrysanthemums. Another striking dress
was all white, q mixture of silk and wool,
with stripes. bands and braces, the latter
crossed upon the back of petunia-colored rib
bon, brocaded in flower pattern upon the
ground color The hat was drawn white
net, trimmed with petunia ribbon.
Some really good combinations have APP
peared i'll pongee with striped silk and SILK
canvas, also i'll pongee and velvet. The
great difficulty in using pongee is the char
acterless surface and generally unoecomlng
color. 1t is, however, cool, durable and
clean; and is made effective and becoming
by finely plated edge, pointed chemlsette
and striped panel of brown velvet or green
and red striped silk, with waist folds or SIDE
sash to match One of these, edged with
stripe, was accompanied by sailor hat
with band to match, and had filled sleeves
with deep cuff of the stripe.
Very pretty and novel looking dresses are
of fawn-colored alpaca, with pointed vest
set inside crossed folds of the alpaca and
rolled collar of velvet matching, or in a
darker shade of the color The trimming is
a line of twisted gold cord, which also edges
the velvet stripes and alternating with close

pos Il entirely of ACCORDION plaitings, the
back hanging full and straight over very
moderate tournure.
Another charming dress of alpaca-or
rather, fine mohair-was entirely original
1t was composed entirely of fine ACCORDION
plaits and plated ruffles, without drapery,
except little pOuf at the back. The skirt
bodice and sleeves were all of the accordion
plating, edged with two-knifed plated
ruffles round the bottom of the skirt and
graduated single one round the edge of the
basque and neck, the last set fiat from the
lower edge of the collar A wide belt of
satin ribbon, with long ends, was tied at the
left size.
Among the beautiful dresses worn by
ladies of the auxiliary committee, at the
reception given to the American Associa-
ton of Scientists at the Metropolitan Opera
House, was one of white faille, embroid-
cred with roses and foliage, in bands and
Mechlin lace Another was of fawn col
ored satin franchise, trimmed with real
duchesse lace, embroidered with gold thread
and showing full vest of real gold EN-
broidered, Indian gauze. This dress was
made with a train and full front, but no
overskirt A black, chantilly lace dress
over heliotrope satin, was covered with
finest, hghtest jet; the side of the skirt and
plastron enriched with an embroidery of
shaded pansies.
A lovely white dress. worn by success
full young Columbia student, soon to be
married to a Fellow of the college, was of
white silk, embroidered guaze, over white
surah; and another, was of tulle, covered
with pendant drops of white jet over white
satin merveilleux; a thick, soft ruche of the
two materials, with the Jets set in the folds
heart shaped bodice
PROBABILITIES OF EARLY AUTUMN.
All the signs of early autumn styles
promise we'll for a choice of sensible and be-
coming modes The country is generally so
prosperous, its wealth so constantly on the
increase, that magnificence in the way of
toilette will not decrease. But there is
nothing to indicate that this will be massed
by exaggerated, grotesque or merely fan
taStiC design
The tournure has positively decreased in
size and will certainly be moderate. The
high hats have at last come down and may
possibly go to the other extreme, but at
present the tendency is toward the Quatre
Bras, the tri-cornered brim of the Empire
and Boulanger--a deep, trimmed hat, turned
up in an angle at the left and finished with
an aigrette But there will be plenty of
choice, from the Duchess of Devonshire
beaver to the close, indented, gray belt;
and from the little evening bonnets of tulle,
lowered, beaded or embroidered, to the
still small but full and becoming chapeau
of velvet and feathers.
The only hat that will look outre and old
style will be the very high ones.
The ladies are prepared with new hats for
the early autumn but fortunately the signs
have been sufficient during the past sum-
mer, of the early demise of the steeple
pared and with most of them, and espe-
cially in the finer kind of dark straw and
black chip bonnets, it will be simply to re-
move the ladder of bows or the mounted
nloutare and replace il with crosScut band
of silk or velvet and add wing to make a
complete transformation.
The best trimming, however upon dark
or black straw, is velvet, artistically pinned
on with small gold headed pins and without
the addition of feathers or flowers, lace or
ribbon.
NEW MATERIALS
for autumn wear are very nearly perfect;
and they are very reasonable in price. The
all woods are in small, visible and invisible
checks: stripes which form more lines of
color, diagonal cloths, knotted checks and
heather mixtures. Very pretty and new
checks are barred with lines of the same
color, sewed over and over still in the color,
in an embroidery stitch. Still others, have
for example, white wool grounds dashed
with yellow wool and closely barred with
double, in and out threads and knotted
stitches of orange and dark brown wool
These flecks of color are charmingly blended
